'Village square' at Merle Way, Lower Cambourne
Most unusually, this housing courtyard overlaps two build phases, which caused added complications with the construction - the details needed to match. The housing shown in the photograph is all part of Bovis Homes phase LC12, but the same paving and tree layout continues behind the photographer into Bryant Homes phase LC13. The central feature chimney of the houses in the background was a specially designed detail. It will be interesting to see how the trees mature in a few years time.

Constructed by Bovis Homes as part of phase LC12.
The houses were just completed when the photo was taken, hence the road in the foreground is still waiting for its top surface to be laid.

Parking courtyard at Purley Road, Lower Cambourne
Planning policies these days encourage designers to hide car parking to the rear of houses to avoid cars and built-in garages dominating the street scene. These are parking facilities for the houses adjacent to the left. Unfortunately it has turned out to be a rather bleak 'sea' of tarmac and would have benefited from some soft landscaping.
